that sounds like a washington term. what it means is you send a bill to a committee, you have a hearing, you have oversight hearings, you mark up a bill, you have amendments, you vote, you go to the full committee, you go to the senate, you go to the house, you go to conference, you send a bill to the president and he signs it or vetoes it. they don't do that anymore. even the transportation bill, which they finally got done this year, went through an extraordinary procedure really because the house never passed the bill. but they wound up getting a transportation bill. so it's a combination of things. it's modern technology. frankly it is the 24/7 news media. you make a mistake, you stick a foot in your mouth now, you got a real problem. it is the fact that the members leave their families back home. you can't be a good legislator 2 1/2 days a week. you have to work at it. so the combination of those things have contributed to the partisanship and the gridlock we have now. but the answer is simple. it's called leadersh
